Study of CK-4021586 for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests an investigational drug called CK-4021586 for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to see if the drug is safe and well-tolerated.

Can older adults with heart failure safely stop beta-blockers?
This trial tests whether it is safe to gradually stop beta-blocker medication in older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff). It aims to improve quality of life by reducing unnecessary medications.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03876223Recruiting
Testing imaging to study heart symptoms without blocked arteries
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.

Exercise program to improve symptoms in atrial fibrillation and heart failure
This study tests if starting a supervised exercise program can help older adults with both atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure called HFpEF feel better and have a better quality of life. You'll be asked to join exercise sessions and have regular check-ins to see how you're doing.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 60–99 - NCT07643818Enrolling by invitationPhase 2

Gut Bacteria and Blood Substances in Stiff Heart Failure
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and certain substances in your blood relate to a type of heart failure called HFpEF (where the heart is stiff and doesn't relax well). It may help doctors understand the condition better and find new ways to treat it.
Naning, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05383287Recruiting
Study of heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study looks at the different features and patterns of people with heart failure where the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help doctors better understand your type of heart failure and tailor care.

Testing SGLT2 pill and potassium nitrate for heart failure with preserved EF
This trial studies whether two medicines—an SGLT2 inhibitor and potassium nitrate—can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It focuses on people who still have signs of “stiff” or high filling pressure in the heart despite a normal-ish ejection fraction.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04592445Recruiting
Nerve ablation for right-sided symptoms in HFpEF heart failure
This trial tests a procedure to “turn off” the right greater splanchnic nerve to improve symptoms in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping function). If successful, it may reduce shortness of breath and fluid congestion in daily life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06977477Recruiting
Managing fluid buildup in heart failure patients
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who are in the hospital. It aims to improve how doctors remove excess fluid and help you feel better.
Magdeburg, Saxony-AnhaltAges 18 years+ - NCT07147114RecruitingPhase 4
Combined macitentan and dapagliflozin for heart failure with lung high blood pressure
This trial tests whether adding two medications—macitentan and dapagliflozin—together is safe and effective for people with heart failure and a certain type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It might help improve your symptoms and daily function.
BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT05115890Recruiting
Testing blood-flow control in heart failure with preserved pumping
This study looks at how well blood flow is regulated in people with HFpEF, a type of heart failure where the heart squeezes normally but doesn’t fill properly. It may help researchers understand the cause of symptoms and how to improve treatment strategies.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07015554Enrolling by invitation
IGF1 levels in women with heart failure
This study looks at a hormone called IGF1 in women with a specific type of heart failure (where the heart pumps normally but is stiff). It may help understand if this hormone is linked to the condition.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07219511RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of VS-041 for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 50 years+ - NCT06560762RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06905405Recruiting
Imaging for early heart failure with stiff heart muscle (HFpEF)
This study uses advanced imaging to find early signs of a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may help if you have shortness of breath and a slightly enlarged heart chamber but don't yet have a clear heart failure diagnosis.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07251361Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.

Pacing therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40 years+ - NCT05793996RecruitingPhase 4
Testing an iron infusion for iron deficiency in HFpEF

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hfpef?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 recruiting hfpef studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hfpef trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hfpef trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
